Please be informed that any wife has know rights over the self acquired properties of her husband during his life time. The only right which accrues in favor of wife is to claim monthly maintenance or one time settlement amount called alimony.

A.Dear Client,
A wife is entitled to inherit an equal share of her husband's property. However, if the husband has excluded her from his property through a will, she does not have a right to her husband's property. Moreover, a wife has a right to her husband's ancestral property.

A.As your marriage had been solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954,between Hindu-Muslim so succession of property shall be regulated by the provisions of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 as amended up to date. To give opinion, it is necessary to know whether you have child/ children and whether your mother in law is alive.
